5GT Climate Control

SoLost · 05-26-2010, 02:49 AM

My first post here.
I just sold my 545 and took delivery of the 535GT (need the bigger trunk). Anyway, I notice one thing that is behaving differently from my 545 and it's bugging the heck out of me.
With the 545, when I press Auto in the Climate Control, the Air Flow, Fan Speed are all set to Auto to achieve the user defined temperature.
However, in the GT, when I press Auto, only the Air Flow is set to Auto, the Fan Speed remains stuck in manual (it will not turn up when necessary).
What is the point?! Is this by design or is my A/C broken?
Thanks.

But you can keep it in Auto and increase the fan speed, thereby regulating the speed with which you get to your desired temperature.

I would expect it to work as you did, but my wife dislikes an AUTO mode which blasts cool air to quickly arrive at the prescribed temperature.

I have noticed in my car the auto setting will control/regulate the climate based on the temperature setting you have input. The fan speed can be adjusted up/down as you desire.
